About this map

Reynolds Channel and the intricate wetlands of Hempstead Bay dominate this coastal survey, where the barrier island communities of Long Beach and Atlantic Beach are shown in mid-century detail. The grid of residential streets across the Rockaway Peninsula and South Shore reflects the dense suburban development of the era, connected by the Long Island Rail Road and arteries like Central Ave. Inland, the landscape transitions from the developed neighborhoods of Inwood and Cedarhurst to the specialized recreation grounds of the Rockaway Hunt Club and Woodmere Country Club.
